Planibel Apartments Reviews

Just got back after staying in the Planinbel. Great time, great snow, great ski area. It is very very good for learners. Easy area right at he bottom with 3 magic carpets. Easy area to move onto at Le Suches gondola. Whole area is best suited to intermediates. Loved the resort, not noisy and chavish. Good value for money and we took a day trip to Courmayeur which was really nice. Some great runs over there. Also skied over to France, pretty good unless you are a boarder, drag lift from hell. Also a bit icy due to high winds. If you want a good value hols in a good resort that is relaxed at a decent price it is hard to see how this place can be beaten. 10/10 from me.

We had been to La Thuile before, 6 years ago. That was when we first put skis on our feet. Consequently we didn't see much of the scenery as we were too busy trying to stay upright!

This time however we had a few miles under foot. The journey there was good. We drove this time. It took about 8 hours from Dunkirk. Driving in 2 hours stints. The hotel reception was fantastic. The porter let us take our car into the underground carpark to unload it there right below our apartment. The apartment was spacious. We had booked a 6 berth but I'm sure it was an 8 berth. There were 2/3 bedrooms and two bathrooms, a small kitchen and adequate lounge area. We did cater for 8 people when we had the rest of our gathering around.

The skiing area is fantastic! You take the gondola or chair to the top. From there the area opens out to a vast expanse of ski runs. Near to the gondola station are blue runs. Take the 4 man chair to the top and it gets you to the red runs and even lets you ski to La Rosier in France. There are a number of small restaurants dotted about the slopes to cater for every need. The one that we all particularly like was the Maison de Neige on red 7. The service and food there were superb.

If you are a beginner or low intermediate skier I would recommend this resort. It is not too difficult an area to get about. Even some of the black runs were more like reds!

The Après Ski was almost not existent! We always ended up at the cafe/bar at the bottom of the gondola station. The nightlife is the same. There are only 3 bars in the near vicinity. However go to the old town and there are more to choose from.
